AIBU to think when staying in hotel should not go down to breakfast in pyjamas

[waltty]

Last night stayed overnight in a City Centre hotel and a family all came down to breakfast wearing their pyjamas,looking like they had all jumped out of bed , it was 9am so still had time to shower and dress before breakfast finished , AIBU to think this is not appropriate

You do realise that the people posting on here DO actually exist in the real world, @BabyClubYEEAAH? They all have real lives - they aren’t just sprites inhabiting the internet!

So sorry but you are literally wrong.

Well said.

Like another poster, my university halls of residence wouldn’t let you go down to breakfast in pjs and if something is frowned upon for students, it’s generally a sign it wouldn’t be ok in normal life.

I wouldn’t bat an eye at small children but grownups should know better. There is also a massive difference in a bridal party putting on new pjs for photos and coming down looking a bit dishevelled in the clothes from the night before.

It’s scruffy and disgusting, we saw someone doing this in a premier inn a few weeks ago. We saw her in the car park about a hour later in leggings and a hoody it would have taken her less than a minute to put them on for breakfast. It’s just trampy and there’s no need for it!

Mind you. Claudia has just appeared on Strictly wearing what appears to be her Christmas morning pyjamas. 🤷‍♀️

I am quite surprised by the amount of people claiming they either wouldn't notice or wouldn't judge.
I go down to breakfast after showering, getting dressed and doing face and hair etc. If I really can't be bothered then room service. But I don't own any pyjamas so couldn't join in anyway.

Are the pyjama people the same ones that make sandwiches from the breakfast buffet for lunch?

PJs in public?

I would not let them tarmac my drive.

That just seems you're standing too close to other people ...

Exactly.

It's a really low-class thing to do, and I can only imagine these are the type who talk in the cinema, block the aisles with their carts at Tesco, let their kids scream in the garden from dawn till dusk, and other anti-social acts. It's all part of the same mindset.

No, not on. Quite seedy.

I would notice if somebody in the immediate vicinity was smelly regardless of what they were wearing but that wouldn't have anything to do with clothes - I'd rather sit near someone in clean pyjamas than someone who'd worn the same clothes for days and not washed adequately or used deodorant. It's unlikely that I'd notice the former anyway as I'm normally reading or concentrating on my food if I'm on my own at the table.

I had a lovely breakfast at the Wolseley in my pyjamas a few years ago after an all night Christmas event not far away. I did have a coat, hat and boots with me too 😊

It's totally inappropriate go down to breakfast in your nightwear in a hotel. They should have been refused service.

They probably go shopping & take the kids to school in their jimjams.

It's dirty if they plan to wear those pj's in bed for more nights. I mean lord knows what germs and bugs their pjs pick off aeats etc in a restaurant which they then put in their bed... and it's also weird imo, like people are treating a hotel like their own house.

But it wouldn't hugely worry me as long as they're properly covered up, each to their own, eh?!

I’m a rule follower, would never leave the house in PJs. I dislike it when people feel the rules don’t apply to them and they can do whatever they want, which is usually hugely antisocial. I don’t think I would wear PJs to a hotel breakfast personally.

Having said that, this genuinely wouldn’t bother me, I wouldn’t bat an eyelid. I don’t see it as a ‘public place’ in the same way a shop or playground or even restaurant is. It’s a hotel, where everyone pays to stay. It’s essentially a home from home, and if somebody wants to go down in PJs before they get washed and dressed I couldn’t care less. It’s breakfast, not lunch/dinner. As long as they’re not indecently exposing themselves such as wearing tiny negligees or topless. I suppose I don’t see it as wearing PJs “out” as they haven’t left the building perhaps. If you would eat breakfast at home in your nightwear I can see how people wouldn’t think twice about it when they’re away. I’m a member of an expensive spa and everybody walks around all day in dressing gowns/swim wear/bare foot even the restaurant at lunch and dinner!

I was thinking the same regarding them wearing their pyjamas in bed after sitting in a chair that probably isn’t very clean. Think of what they are transferring…

Just because someone dressed themselves doesn't mean they've done any of this

Inappropriate.

YANBU - that's slovenly behaviour. Surely they should order room service if they can't be arsed to behave like civilised people.

It’s really common in some parts of Asia to breakfast in PJs.

Wait until you hear about what is on public transport seats.

If you 'can't be bothered', ie you're too lazy , to get dressed then you deserve to miss breakfast. Many establishments have a dress standard in their restaurants in the evening, depending on the type of place, maybe they need one for breakfast time too.

Yuck !

Yes which is why I take off my trousers as soon as I get home and change in to something else. I wouldn’t sit on my clean bed in dirty jeans!

No! There was nothing fake about her either, she was really rather beautiful.

It’s slovenly in my opinion. They aren’t at home. Getting dressed takes a few minutes.
